"Space Watch for Peace" (2006)

The film was created in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Academician A.L. Mintz Radiotechnical Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

The Mintz Institute has made great contributions to our country.

The radar stations created by the Institute have been a guarantor of peace and stability for decades.

The personality of Alexander Lvovich Mintz determined a lot in the fate of the Radiotechnical Institute.

Even before the war, thanks to Mintz's scientific developments, radio communication was established over the vast expanses of the USSR. During the war, the famous Kuibyshev radar station was built under his leadership, which still broadcasts Mayak radio throughout Russia.

In 1949, Mintz and 300 employees of the then-existing Laboratory No. 2 of the USSR Academy of Sciences (from which the Radiotechnical Institute began) built the world's largest phasatron, in 1957 - a synchrophasatron, in 1967 a proton synchrophasatron.

The work of Mintz and his colleagues made a huge contribution to the development of fundamental physics.

But immediately after the war, Mintz began to create air defense systems.

This direction became one of the main ones in the work of the Radio Engineering Institute for many decades, right up to the present day.
